tranny questions

97 4.3cpi 4door 4 wheel 700r4 auto tranny
How many quarts of transmission oil does it hold?
How many quarts to fill it from bone dry?
Rumor has it my filter is located inside the transmission?
Hit me back as soon as possible please! I need to change gasket tomorrow.

The filter is in the tranny.
Dropping the pan will reveal it. The filter kit will have a new gasket for the pan. Last time I pulled mine I fit a screw on it to drain the oil.
The tranny will drain all but the converter which will hold from 1-1.5 l or quarts.
Buying 4 should be fine for a filter change.

Ok, My leak is definatly coming from the top of the tranny oil pan.
I got 12 quarts of dexron III for like 15 bucks, and a gasket/filter kit for 8.50.
So I had it steamed so i can see everything and make sure its clean and that that's where its leaking from. And I put it ontop of cardboard so I can see whats dripping and where.
so i found it, top of the tranny oil pan, but now that it's cleaned I see 4L60E on the side. I thought my truck came with the 700r4?! The transmission guy who worked on it said it was a 700r4?
What's up with that?
